Instead of responding directly to reports of a federal corruption investigation into his office, the Honolulu prosecuting attorney kicks up a cloud of smoke.

Chasid Sapolu was identified as a “subject” last week in the widening investigation into local law enforcement.

There’s no rule that prohibits Honolulu’s elected prosecutor from telling the public whether he is the target of a Justice Department probe.

A federal grand jury continues to expand its investigation, now delving into prescription pain medications that were seized during a 2015 drug raid.

Keith Kaneshiro may be the target of a federal investigation into corruption. But his office will neither confirm nor deny.

The Justice Department inquiry into Honolulu police corruption has lasted four years and resulted in numerous indictments. But Keith Kaneshiro isn’t talking.

A federal magistrate granted a request to postpone the trial because an undisclosed medical condition would hamper Katherine Kealoha’s ability to participate in her defense.

The federal magistrate scolded the prosecutor for claiming Katherine Kealoha had a history of “feigning serious illness.”

After retiring from full-time police work in 2011 after a 31-year career, he was working on a short-term contract giving road tests.

She and her husband, former Police Chief Louis Kealoha, face their first trial on bank fraud charges in November.
